    A delightful little historical seaside town with easy walking access to a range of interesting shops and plenty of coffee places. Lots to do for all ages including the railway, museum and pier. We loved the beach and my grandson enjoyed the playground with the best views ever.

    Lovely seaside town with extraordinary beach and vista; we also like the shops, Steam Railway and the layout of the town. Lovely Cafe for Lunch where we waited to board the Waverly Paddle Steamer. A trip of the Swanage Steam Railway. A superb visit.

    We only stayed in Swanage as we know it well but we had an appointment in Poole on one day and walked to the Old Harry Rocks from the Bankes Arms in Studland on another. We ate out in Swanage each evening enjoying looking out to sea in the sunshine.

    Lovely place for a weeks holiday, Swanage has many eating places, sometimes pricey. And the good ones are all reserved quickly. So you have to be quick! Durston park was very good for a walk which is nearby. Corfe Castle too steep for us. The steam train quite expensive for only a few miles from Swanage.

    Great family location, lots of restaurants to choose from. Only minor issue, you need to try and book tables during high season as a lot of places were very busy. We only found one place where you could book online.

    Busy seaside resort, and good pier and nice clean sandy beaches. However, apart from few pubs , all places were closed shortly after 9pm, including most restaurants- surprising on August Bank Holiday.

    Decoration of the house was great, the property was close to the sea and shops. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and more. In terms of location there were some nice places in Swanage, but the town needs a bit more investment and it would be nice if the architecture of some of the buildings complemented its surrounding a bit more. Beach was ok but not impressive. The best parts were the costal paths. Corfe caste / village and Worth Matravers worth visiting

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Pines. The staff were unfailingly welcoming, helpful and friendly. The sea view from room 41 was beautiful and we throughly enjoyed the unexpected bonus of being able to access the beach from the hotel garden (via steep but well-maintained steps) giving us the opportunity to walk into Swanage. Breakfasts were excellent, as was the meal we booked for our first night. Thanks to all the staff for an excellent visit.

    Location was ideal, if you walk down the side of the Grand Hotel a little path leads down to the beach. There’s a couple of cafes there, they serve breakfast and lunch until 3pm weather permitting. You can walk along this coastal path into Swanage. (Bit of a steep hill when going back up the side of the Grand Hotel to get back to the accommodation, but pace yourself 😊)

    We have been coming to Swanage for years and have stayed here in the past. The hotel has been refurbished tastefully. The location is very convenient with steps to the beach. It was only an overnight stay but it suited our needs well.
